1963 Chrysler Turbine
I’ve been obsessing recently over the 1963 Chrysler Turbine, a concept car Chrysler Corp made 55 of, loaned out to select customers for testing (and lots of breathless publicity), and then they unceremoniously destroyed all but a few of them (as can be seen in the last horrifying video above). As far as I can tell, there is only a single vehicle owned by an individual car collector in Indiana. The rest are in museums (with the motors hobbled) and Chrysler has a working one at their Proving Grounds. Short of stealing one, I don’t know how I’m ever going to get my hands on one, but a boy can dream…
Mister Jalopy posted about the Turbine on D+R today, so I guess I’m not the only Maker who covets this crazy-cool car.
Here’s a nice piece on Allpar about the Chrysler’s turbine cars and engines.
